Quick question about dev.smu dev.smusat on powermac11,2

[Michael Copeland]

Is the fan control disabled by default on a GP dual core? Only reason I ask
is that the fans on spool up under full load, and that usually results in a
panic.
I did make a rather simple program and associated script to control the
fans, but this happens to result in the fans constantly going up and down
by about 300-400 rpm even while doing something simple like portsnap
extract. I checked the list after doing that, and found a thread where
someone else already did the same thing(a common problem of mine, I usually
try to fix it myself without checking the list). I swapped out the program
written by Nathan, but my results are the same. It DOES work, but I was
only wondering if it's normal for the fan speed to vary so often.

Thanks,

Michael
